Liveblogging The Second Debate – Thread 2

Posted on 10/07/2008 at 8:48 pm by Bob Cesca

8:57PM
Josh Marshall reminds us about Brokaw’s barbecue face:

9PM
Here comes the second debate. I’m hoping for Brokaw to pronounce “Waziristan.”

9:01PM
Who is going to suck spit through his bottom teeth more often? McCain or Brokaw? I say Brokaw.

9:03PM
Eye contact! HEH?!

9:08PM
Bunch of Palin-like platitudes from McCain.

9:09PM
Can someone tell McCain that no-one who uses eBay actually likes Meg Whitman? Especially sellers.

9:10PM
I’m watching the CNN line thing. Hypnotic.

9:11PM
McCain corrects the black audience member. “It’s not a bailout – it’s a rescue.” HEH?!

9:14PM
Obama is correcting “McCain’s history, which isn’t surprising.” Go! Hitting McCain on deregulation.

9:15PM
Does McCain sound shakey and jittery tonight? His voice sounds wobbly.

9:18PM
Obama’s line went off the charts with women on his housing answer.

9:18PM
Old woman: “Global economic CRISIS!” ROWWWR!

9:20PM
Obama off the charts again with both men and women on spending and borrowing money from China.

9:23PM
McCain blowing the lid off Planetarium Gate! HEH?!

9:25PM
McCain asked about entitlement programs. Bungles the answer for 10 seconds, then changes the subject to energy. He’s awful tonight. Really sleepy and scattered. Obama meanwhile is sharp and sympathetic.

NEW THREAD. Run away!

  • http://poopandpolitics.blogspot.com/ MCat

    well at least it isn’t the green back drop mccain likes

  • LeeroyJenkins

    Oh! The Wee Angry Man is already taking notes and no questions have been asked. WTF?

  • beil75

  • ceu

    Oh Christ. Are they all gonna have southern accents? :(

  • CycloCynic

    Love the tie colors!

  • http://www.clusterdouche.com Elvis Dingeldein

    How big a “Town Hall” is this? Looks like an AMWAY meeting in Asshole, Utah.

  • recruitgal

    Holy cow. Obama is cool as a cucumber. I’m sitting here nervous and tetchy as a bag of snakes, and he’s zen-like.

  • http://poopandpolitics.blogspot.com/ MCat

    lmao @ elvis it doesn’t look like a town hall at all does it

  • ceu

    YES! Hit the AIG story! Get the money back! Hehe.

  • Strawdog

    45 seconds in and Obama’s got me all snoozy. Damn.

  • http://www.clusterdouche.com Elvis Dingeldein

    WHAM! “Those who can afford to hire lobbyists!” Whammo!PS – Dear John McCain: Fuck you, douche.

  • KatinWilm

    Is section A the white bald guy section?

  • LeeroyJenkins

    Why is The Wee Angry Man walking like he has a diaper on?

  • http://www.clusterdouche.com Elvis Dingeldein

    Gee, John, really? America is scared? Couldn’t have anything to do with you running around using the word “scared,” could it?

  • http://livefreeordie08.wordpress.com LiveFreeOrDie08

    HA! Energy independence will get my retirement back!! Drill Baby Drill!! Right into the ground.

  • http://poopandpolitics.blogspot.com/ MCat

    doesn’t look to diverse

  • http://jennydemilo.blogspot.com JennyDemilo

    why is Johnny Mac snorting between sentences? it sounds gross.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    How about now Strawdog? Does McCain make you want to slit your wrists?

  • LeeroyJenkins

    Oh, McCain. Funny, funny guy.

  • ceu

    And we’ve got the first “my friends”!He knows how to fix the economy – it’s his plan, not Obama’s, not Bush’s, HIS. And he ain’t telling anybody what it is…

  • Poleezz

    Did anyone see the spit fly out of McFucks mouth?

  • recruitgal

    Ebay just fired 1000 people!!

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    NOT YOU TOM?! Man, he’s a fucking douche!

  • http://www.clusterdouche.com Elvis Dingeldein

    Uh-oh! McCain’s being asked about his Cabinet! UH-OH! HE DOESN’T FUCKING KNOW! WHAT A GODDAMNED DOUCHEBAG! MCCAIN DOESN’T HAVE A NAME — WHAM! — IMMEDIATELY! TOO MUCH AYERS ON THE OLD ADDLED BRAIN YOU COCKSUCKER?!

  • http://jennydemilo.blogspot.com JennyDemilo

    Didnt ebay just lay off 10% of their workforce? yeah bring that up McSnorty

  • theo

    Beltway Johnny needs to fire whoever dresses him — he looks fucking awful. His tie is really conspicuously sticking out from under his suit jacket, his hair is ridiculous, his tie mixed with the carpet makes him look small. Not to mention, his mouth is open, and that’s never good.

  • LeeroyJenkins

    Greed, excess, cronyism — McCain’s describing his own administration.

  • J M Ashby

    McCain saying we need reform but not saying what his reform would be is a really hallow answer.

  • Strawdog

    McCain likes Meg Whitman! And she knows how to create jobs, +/- a thousand employees.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Fuck. “Senator McCain is right.” GODDAMNIT!

  • http://www.clusterdouche.com Elvis Dingeldein

    Oliver Clark? I fucked him.

  • KatinWilm

    Woo hoo! Token black man! They obviously screened the audience like Brokaw screened the questions.

  • Poleezz

    HAHAHAHAHA! GOOD ONE BOB!!!

  • jane

    Howdy all. One thread late already and waaay too sober.

  • recruitgal

    Way to insult the intelligence of the black guy…

  • http://www.clusterdouche.com Elvis Dingeldein

    AHAHAHAHAHA! McCain just Freuded all over himself. Said “Greed and ACCESS” but meant “excess.” OOPS! Douche.

  • J M Ashby

    ROFL @ bringing up ebay who just lost 1000 jobs…lmao lmao lmao I can see that as being a big gaffe remembered tomorow.

  • LeeroyJenkins

    Obama’s cronies? What? Is McCain insane? Oh, wait… yes, he is.

  • MatthewN

    Obama needs to step it up some.

  • Bill Delyon

    McShame is bringing up Freddie and Fanny?Good grief…Um Rick Davis??

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    No one ever heard of Fannie and Freddie?! What the fuck! I hope Obama hits him back on the suspending the campaign bullshit.

  • http://poopandpolitics.blogspot.com/ MCat

    is he the only black person in attendance??

  • http://jennydemilo.blogspot.com JennyDemilo

    why does McCain seem like hes talking to 5 year olds. I mean this isnt fucking romper room… old man!

  • ceu

    Obama was the second largest recipient of Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac money in history?? Is that true? I don’t believe it.

  • KatinWilm

    Welcome Jane. Drink up. We’ll need it.Why does McDouche assume Oliver hasn’t heard of Freddie & Fannie before now?

  • Strawdog

    Oooh, condescension is always a good call: You’ve never heard of Fannie Mae you little jerk.

  • recruitgal

    “Not surprisingly”. LOVE IT.

  • dontpanic23

    Hey Jane. Your Absence was conspicuous.

  • Poleezz

    Repeat after me Barack…Senator McCain is wrong, Senator McCain is wrong….Hi Jane.

  • J M Ashby

    McCain has to take a lot of deep breathes walking around and walking.

  • amaraya

    What happened to no follow ups from Brokaw??

  • jane

    Drinking words yet? “stinking corpse” come up yet?

  • http://www.clusterdouche.com Elvis Dingeldein
  • MatthewN

    Obama should have answered “Yes, the economy is going to get worse.”

  • theo

    “Elect me or lose your retirement money.”

  • ceu

    tonight’s word seems to be crony or cronyism.

  • recruitgal

    How can he stand there with a straight face and say he wants to get rid of cronyism and lobbyists?

  • Poleezz

    RIGHT MCFUCK!!!!! He didn’t want to get your cooties shit bag!!!

  • jane

    Ohhh he was the second “highest” recipient.

  • KatinWilm

    I think “my friends” should be a drinking word.

  • LeeroyJenkins

    The CNN line thing shows no one cares about Brokaw.

  • Poleezz

    Fuck did they pick these people from a McCain rally?

  • jane

    Oh ELvis, there you go with your “facts” again

  • MatthewN

    Katlin– I’d end up with alcohol poisoning.

  • Poleezz

    That was a smooth answer Obama.

  • schadenfroid

    I love American politics today, I have to drink my way through every debate so I don”t have a stoke..

  • J M Ashby

    Brokaw is almost as ancient as McCain.

  • recruitgal

    Consistent Reformer? SERIOUSLY?

  • http://www.clusterdouche.com Elvis Dingeldein

    Mmmmm, the reacharound. DRINK!

  • LeeroyJenkins

    The CNN line things shows McCain just flatlined.

  • jane

    Oh JM, we ALL look old to you kids…

  • KatinWilm

    Liberman doesn’t count when talking about bipartisanship. He’s a fucker.

  • dontpanic23

    Just went to the CNN thing for the lines. Obama had ‘em riveted for a full minute. McCain’s boring them to middle and going down, especially the men. Oops, flatline. He’s verbally dead. CLEAR.

  • Poleezz

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Here comes the Maverick!!!

  • ceu

    Yeah, good idea. Let’s look at the records! You first, JSid!

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Since when does bipartisanship mean taking on your own party? It means working with the other party, you shithead.

  • http://www.clusterdouche.com Elvis Dingeldein

    PORKBARREL EARMARKS! DRINK!

  • J M Ashby

    My Friends!! — OH SHIT I left my beet in the freezer

  • Strawdog

    McCain sounds really nervous. Almost scared.

  • schadenfroid

    CALL HIM A LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!

  • http://www.clusterdouche.com Elvis Dingeldein

    Reform! DRINK!

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    No priorites for McCain. Nice.

  • LeeroyJenkins

    You have a beet in the freezer, Ashby? I don’t think they freeze well.

  • MatthewN

    He does Strawdog… like he just finished running uphill.

  • jane

    JM’s freezing beets?

  • http://www.clusterdouche.com Elvis Dingeldein

    What the fuck is a “Tip O’Neill”?

  • schadenfroid

    Place 3 items in order of priority…all of them, any of them…

  • J M Ashby

    My friends AND Raegan in one response. Yeehaw!Rofl this answer from McCain is like Palins response to Couric about the bailout.

  • Poleezz

    Uh oh he’s getting passionate! Where’s my sick bag…

  • KatinWilm

    Damn…my friends again. Gonna be blasted again.McCain does sound shaky tonight. Looks like he’s gonna fall over too.

  • dontpanic23

    Split the beet. It will go well in the wine.

  • http://www.clusterdouche.com Elvis Dingeldein

    How can McCain do all three at once, he had to suspend his fucking campaign just to think about the economy!

  • http://poopandpolitics.blogspot.com/ MCat

    ok im too amazed by the watching the lines on cnn and it looks like they’re liking what obama is saying

  • MatthewN

    McCain has figured out that if he runs over time Obama won’t have time to rebutt.

  • jane

    Yeah Obama was “his party’s” first choice for a candidate way back when. Never taken them on?

  • dontpanic23

    Wow the lines are going off the top with O’s energy talk.

  • KatinWilm

    Damn…Obama’s kicking his ass in priorities. Bringing up gas prices…which I’m sure McCain doesn’t know.

  • recruitgal

    Barack apparently has the ability to prioritize. GOOD ANSWER.

  • Bill Delyon

    I can’t stand this old man….

  • jane

    McCain pulls off a double-back- pork-barrel earmarks with a twist!

  • theo

    Brokaw’s flirtatious tonight.

  • schadenfroid

    From all the references of drinking on here, I surmise we are “JOE SIX PACKS”!!!

  • brianbull1

    “TIME GENTLEMAN” Geez Tom anal much?

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Eliminating programs? Live social security and medicare? Defense spending my ass.

  • J M Ashby

    Story time about Airforce tanker earmarks.Very serious!

  • jane

    I hear there’s a new thread somewhere

  • KatinWilm

    I shouldn’t have switched to CNN. The graph is hypnotic.

  • http://www.clusterdouche.com Elvis Dingeldein

    Mmmmmmm, anal.

  • Poleezz

    He is so pathetic tonight it’s almost well…fuck me…sad in a fucked up sort of pathetic sort of fucked up way?? Poor old cocksucker.

  • dontpanic23

    MCat I’m having the same problem. I have to make myself listen to the words because I’m so fascinated by the reaction—oooooh, shiny!

  • recruitgal

    Ooh, he brought up Veterans Affairs. If I was on the stage, I would have to be physically restrained at this point.

  • Strawdog

    Earmarks, Schmearmarks. The ship is sinking Johnny!

  • Poleezz

    He is so pathetic tonight it’s almost well…fuck me…sad in a fucked up sort of pathetic sort of fucked up way?? Poor old cocksucker.

  • http://www.clusterdouche.com Elvis Dingeldein

    “We’re not rifle shots” ? WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN?

  • Poleezz

    He is so pathetic tonight it’s almost well…fuck me…sad in a fucked up sort of pathetic sort of fucked up way?? Poor old cocksucker.

  • http://www.clusterdouche.com Elvis Dingeldein

    Obama rolls with the first 9/11 jab. Perfect context: Sacrifice.

  • ceu

    Elvis, when did Tip O’Neill’s name come up? Missed that.

  • J M Ashby

    Small “town hall” meeting is ideal for community organizer imo. Good thing McPalin have spent so much time making fun of being a community organizer.

  • schadenfroid

    There goes Obama with all that elitist smarty talk, how about a wink, or flute solo…now that would be entertainment!

  • dontpanic23

    “Nailing Jello” line flatlined. And he’s stayed hat and even lowered. McFuckhead is bombing in this crowd.

  • brianbull1

    She was a plantnever met

  • brianbull1

  • MatthewN
